If we actually cared about government waste in the US, we would go after the insurance and tax prep companies. Fucking leaches on society. They only exist to siphon money from people.

I'm not here to defend the Chinese government or anything, but there is an argument to be made that the US has an equivalency to each one of these things.

CCP officials at tech companies - NSA backdoors

Uyghur slaves - Prison labor aka war on drugs

Taiwan - Gaza/Literally any "3rd world" nation with oil

Censorship - Right wing media empires/red state bills targeted to downplay US atrocities taught in schools

Retaliation against protestors - Police brutality Social media censorship - Oligarchs owned social media

I think a lot of people are less falling for Chinese propaganda and more overcoming US propaganda.

It's a rough draft according to her substack.

Its not out of control now, but that doesn't cancel out previous high inflation rates on things. If people wages haven't kept up then they may not be able.to still afford the standard of living they had a few years ago.

Like one of the other replies mentioned, when you get closer to retirement, more of the money should get shifted from stocks to more stable but lower return investments like bonds and such that are not affected by a stock market crash. Usually you can set a retirement age in the management portal of your 401k and the management company in charge of your 401k uses it as a guide to move the money into the more stable investments.

Absolutely, but for now the best thing we can do is show up and vote and call out these misleading polls for what they are. The larger the margins are, the harder it gets to try to cheat through the courts. Of course if there is a big blue wave, we'll hear that it itself is evidence that voter fraud happened, in which they will justify with these slanted polls.

I think the other silver lining is that when it comes down too it, Trump doesn't have a large enough base that is willing to stick thier own necks out in a misguided attempt to "save" democracy. Trump.didn't get the numbers he wanted on January 6th and he won't get them this time either.

You literally just described American healthcare. I don't know where people get this idea that you don't have to wait to see a doctor here. I've had to book doctors appointments months out. And specialists can be 6+ months of waiting.

I think the Americans that say otherwise actually don't try to go to the doctor on a regular basis. And if you press them on why, they'll admit it is a fucking hassle and worried about the bill if they need to actually get something done.

Just because you don't know the rules doesn't mean they are unwritten.

They did hold a primary. You might have not liked how they ran it. I had my own issues with it as well, but they did and once those votes are in the pledged delegates have to honor the winner from it, which Biden was. Tell me how they could have just taken it away from him without him stepping down again?

Do you know how Democrat canidates are picked? Biden already had enough pledged delegates to win the nomination.

I want to propose a law that forces anyone who doesn't support body autonomy for women to be compelled to give their blood and extra organs to anyone that might need them to live.

All life is sacred, right?
